The Proactive Management of Personnel and Networks implementation includes a variety of tasks from individual tasks to group tasks. The implementation initially creates a personal experience in diversity management, where everyone can reflect on the phenomenon as a value and expand their understanding of themselves. Information about the phenomenon is shared in the form of an online discussion and also in teaching encounters. Information is shared around the phenomenon from different expert roles and students participate in the online discussion of their choice and challenge each other in the discussions.

The implementation will next create an overview of the management of human resources and their development opportunities and challenges in the form of a task. The task will give you an idea of the possibilities of human resources strategy and human resources management in your own workplace as well. Learning accumulates when the results of a task are shared. The task utilizes the latest information from the National Institute of Occupational Health on the management of human resources and a model that can be utilized in the development of working life.

Finally, in the form of a task, the implementation provides an overview of the possibilities of self-directed teams in the development of working life. In the roles of HR expert and HR manager, self-direction is an opportunity and a challenge now and in the future. How does self-direction have to act as a supervisor and an employee, and how does it affect management?

From all of the above perspectives, a comprehensive database of Moodle has been built with the help of lecture recordings, expert blogs and source materials. From the materials of the implementation, everyone can choose the most suitable for themselves and utilize the sources with this implementation. The implementation tasks have been developed in product development training and have also been utilized in project work. The assignments are work-oriented and students can apply the knowledge as they develop into personnel professionals.

The implementation will be visited by working life representatives from the public and private sectors, so both the public and private sector management worlds will become known.

The implementation is divided into the following entities:

1. Preliminary task
2. Human resources management task
3 self-direction in management -task
4 Contact lessons as webinars

5 Implementation utilizes reverse learning, which means that students work on a topic independently, after which information is shared in teaching encounters.
